More than 800,000 people are said to have answered the Co-op's public poll [PH]

Group chief executive Euan Sutherland said more than 80,000 people had responded to its Have Your Say survey since its launch last week.

It invites clients, members and the public to give their say on issues including how the Co-op should share its profits and how it can improve services.

Sutherland said: “We have seen a phenomenal response. It is testament to the part that The Co-operative can and should play in local communities that people have taken time to respond.” The results will be published at the Co-op’s annual meeting in May.
